Obama’s Legacy as a Partisan

This is the conclusion of a new piece I have at the Huffington Post. It follows up on something I wrote way back in September 2008, when I was skeptical Obama’s campaign rhetoric about changing the way Washington works. My skepticism was largely born out by events since then.
